When it comes close to time to retire, it’s only natural to think about what you’ll choose to do. Will you fully retire? Move to a retirement community where you can enjoy your time without the hassles of homeownership? Continue your pursuit of education? There are so many choices but one thing is for certain, retirement living has a wide range of benefits to enhance your health, happiness and life.
“At Kendal on Hudson, we understand that retirement should be a time for enjoying everything life has to offer, not for slowing down,” says Ellen Oddstadt, Director of Resident Services, Kendal® on Hudson, the only true Lifecare Retirement Community in Westchester County. “We just make it easier for seniors to embrace each day with services, amenities and opportunities to expand on hobbies, enjoy lifelong learning and even relax. What’s more is that seniors can spend less time worrying about the future because they have the peace of mind that care is always available, if and when it’s ever needed, without sacrificing the lifestyle and community they love.”
